The location of the hostel is perfect. Well organized rooms. The kitchen and lounge areas are exactly what is needed. But the highlight would be the enthusiasm and friendly ness and helpfulness of Dhanraj in the reception.

Where do I start? An Indian boy who arrived in Malta with no expectations whatsoever, been blown away by how good the people I’ve met there. I became friends with everyone: be it the owner, the staff, the fellow travellers. One of them who I’ve become extremely close with “Yoran from the Netherlands, Rachael from South Africa, Claire the Australian, The Italian guy(forgot his name),Emily from the US, Pedro from Brazil to name a few and everyone who shared the place from the 19th to the 26th of July 23. Thank you for making my stay comfortable. Cheers x

After a hard day of touring around Malta, it was the perfect accomodation to relax with some AC turned on, a nice shower and get a goodnight sleep. I had a very pleasant stay and the staff were exceptionally nice!

Great location, everything was very clean – cleaned twice a day, and the team was very kind, talkative and helpful. They were making sure I'm alright and giving me a lot of good and useful information and tips about what to do in Malta and how to reach those places. Also the other guests were very friendly and communicative leading to interesting conversations and contacts.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Everything was clean, the room was pretty quiet, there are 3 toilets, one im the room, the other two in the common area, and two bathrooms. Kitchen and leisure rooms were quite nice and there were loads of dishes. Beach is nearby as well as the stores. And there is a very cheap bakery just above the hostel. Guests are really quiet. Use the jacuzzi, it is cool! The staff was really really nice and helpful! Would recommend!

This is by far the best Hostel I've ever been to: pretty cheap, but excellent services. Nice, comfortable and clean rooms, an amzin living room and kitchen, forthcoming staff etc... I'm still a little incredulous because it exceeded my expectations that were shaped by other hostels that aren't as good as this
